A Troubled World On January 1 John D. Rockefeller, Jr., will begin construction of his great civic center in the heart of New York. A good business man, he probably wants some income from the prop erty, for which he has been paying ground rent to Columbia college at the rate of $3,000,000 a year. The younger Mr. Rockefeller de voting time and energy to building, to admirably useful restoration of an cient, priceless buildings, and to con struction of a great center in New York, reminds you of the Medici fami ly, of whom tJia founder strongly re* sembled John D. Rockefeller, Sr. The older Medici made money, or ganized commerce. The younger generation spent the money employing Michael Angelo, Raphael and others. Mr. Sidney Franklin, born > in Brooklyn, and perhaps possessing an cestors that lived three thousand years ago on the Island of Crete, went to Spain, became a bull fighter. Now he goes into vaudeville, safer than the bull ring, and says bull lighting is absolutely a “fair, honest, pure” sport, because “no way lias been found to bribe the bull.” In that respect, bull lighting is unlike prize lighting. The extremely able Manchester Guardian, Great Britain's most solemn and substantial newspaper, worries about us. The editor thinks our gangsters are of the same breed as Chinese bandits, and “our civiliza tion is failing." Let us hope that the Manchester Guardian is too gloomy. Our gangsters shoot each other. Chinese bandits don’t do that. Chinese bandits kidnap women, cut off a linger, or an ear, and send it back with a request for cash. Our gangsters have not adopted that method. Troubles aJl over the world. In Spain, students burn a picture of the king, and Berenguer, prime minister, closes the University of Barcelona. Before burning the picture, the stifc. dents cut out the head, mounted it on a pole and paraded with it. That is a mild but unpleasantly close imitation of French revolution ists. They cut off the head of a pub lic official that advised peasants to eat grass if they had no bread. Th# mob stuffed the dead mouth wu, grass,, put the head on the eud of a pole, and paraded with it. .mproved Uniform Interrtational Sunday School r Lesson 5 ,Qy UEV. I\ n. F1TZWATEK. t>. D.. Mom- ber of Faculty. Moody Bible liiatitute of Chicago.) ((d). 1930. Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for October 26 SPIRITUAL WEAPONS IN A WORLD WAR (World’s Temperance Lesson) LESSON TEXT—Galatians 5:i:5-2<*. GOLDEN TEXT—And every man that striveth for the mastery is ‘temper ate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but >ve an incorruptible. PRIMARY TOPIC—Learning Self- Control. JUNIOR TOPIC—The • Law in One Word. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—The Secret of Self-Control. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Making Prohibition Effective and Permanent. The lesson topic is not a happy one. The Scripture text chosen clearly re fers to the inner conflict going on in the believer. Having been born of the llesli and of the Spirit (John 3:0), there is an unceasing conflict going on betweqp the two natures (Gal. 5:17). The insurrection springing out of the carnal nature cannot be put down by the Law of Moses. Victory •can only be accomplished through the energy of the indwelling Holy Spirit. The commiitce has further desig nated it “a temperance lesson.” It has a real bearing on temperance in that it shows the only way to destroy the infernal liquor business; namely, to lead individuals to tt personal knowl edge and experience of Jesus Ghrist. Having in Galatians 3 and 4 shown that the believer is free from the law as a means of justification, Paul makes practical application of this doctrine as follows: I. Christian Freedom (vv. 13-15) % 1. If is not an occasion to the “flesh” (v. J3). Liberty is not license. The notion that when one is free from the law he is free from constraint, is wickedly er roneous. License of the flesh means not merely the indulgence of the flesh iu actual material sins, but in the ex pression of a self-centered life (v. 15). 2. By love sol ving one another (v. 13). Freedom from the Mosaic law means slavery to the law of love. Love thus becomes the fulfillment of the law— “Love thy neighlK>r as thyself” (V. 14). II. Walking in the Spirit (vv. 10-18). Walking in the Spirit results In: 1. Loving sendee to others. 2. Victory over the flesh (vv. 1C, 17). By the “flesh” is meant the corrupt nature of man expressing itself in the realm of sense and seif. III. The Works of the Flesh (vv. 19-21). A strike in the Edison factory at Orange, N. J„ was necessary per haps, if it be a fact that wages were reduced. * But £piy workman knowing what Edison has done for worker? must find it hard to call a strike against him. ' Thanks to Edison, millions are at work all over the world at good wages, and millions live In comfort unknown before Edison’s work began. Mussolini greets and thanks Ameri cans honoring the name of Virgil, which emphasizes the difference In age between this youthful country and Mussolini’s. The direct descendants of Virgil’s race in Rome, Mantua and elsewhere, are celebrating the two .thousandth anniversary of his birth. A powerful race is that of Italy, and Mussolini is as strong in will and exe cution as any of the Caesars. 'If anybody asks “How long will the depression last?” reply “How long does a cold in tho head last?” It de- Iicnds on who has the cold, how much of a cold it Is. and what you do after you get it. This country is rich and powerful i enough to throw off this chill of de- i pression. and anyhow it is comforting to know that even a heavy cold does disappear. Kingsford-Smith sets a new flying record, flying from London to Allaha bad, India, in five and a half days. Airplanes may crash and dirigibles break In two. but fliers are not dis couraged. The history of ran a has been one of unconquerable effort. That’s why he rules the earth, and all earth’s inhabitants except the microbes. Bears “That destroy public confi dence” by selling short in Wall Si reel, j have been told in Arm language to i “lay off,” and have Iain off. The stock exchange wants no quarrel with the . Department of Justice, no investiga tion of sacred Wall Street accounts. The old statement that bears and short selling are necessary to make business good and active seems borne out by the dullness of the market and the falling prices. Dinosaur eggs found originally In Thibet have been discovered in Amer ica. The “heu” dinosaur that laid them was about eighty feet long. Standing up she could look over tall trees.

By works of the flesh is meant the operation of the carnal nature.- The one who chooses to live ac cording to the impulses and desires of his natural heart will be practicing the following sins: 1. Sensuality (v. 19). The sins enumerated here, prac ticed in Hie sphere of the body, are: (1) Fornication. Fornication In cludes all sexual sins in married and unmarried Jifc. (2) Uncleanness. This includes ail sensual sins, open or secret, in thought or deed. (3) Lasciviousness. This means the wanton, reckless indulgences in the shameful practices of the flesh. 2. Irreligion (v. 20). These acts take place in the realm of the spirit and are: • (1) Idolatry. (2) Witchcraft or sorcery. This means all dealing with the occult, such as magical* arts and spiritism. 3. Sins of temper (vv.'20, 21). These take place in the sphere of the mind and are: (1) Hatred. (2) Variance, which means strife and contention. (3) Em ulations; jealousy. (4) Wrath; bursts of passions.

Peace with God and fallQ^man. 4. i/ong suffering; taking insult and injury without murmuring. 5. Gentleness; kindness lo others. 6. Goodness; doing good to others. 7.
